REPORT - FY 20-21 MEASURE O ANNUAL REPORT

BACKGROUND: Ordinance 3680 added Chapter 3-26 to the Santa

Rosa City Code establishing a special transaction and use tax. The

special tax measure, known as Measure O, increased sales tax by a

quarter percent to fund specific Police, Fire, and Gang

Prevention/Intervention programs, as set forth in the Ordinance.

The Ordinance also established a seven-member Citizen Oversight

Committee, with members appointed by the City Council, to annually

review expenditures and appropriations of the tax revenues to ensure

that all such revenues are spent or appropriated for the purposes and

uses set forth in the Ordinance. Each year, an Annual Report is

prepared by City staff, reviewed by the Citizen Oversight Committee

and presented to the City Council reporting on expenditures and

activities during the past fiscal year.

The tax revenues generated by Measure O are split between Fire

(40%), Police (40%) and Gang Prevention/Intervention Programs

(20%), with these revenues spent in accordance with an Implementation

Plan which was adopted by the City Council.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance, Fire and

Police departments, the Violence Prevention Partnership program, and

the Measure O Citizens’ Oversight Committee that the Council, by

motion accept the Measure O Annual Report for FY 2020-21.

REPORT - APPROVAL OF SHARED SCOOTER SYSTEM PILOT

PROGRAM

BACKGROUND: The evolution of Shared Mobility Devices (SMDs) has

surged in the last several years. Examples of these devices include

electric scooters and electric bikes.

After receiving direction from the City Council study session in

November 2020, staff began the process of developing a draft set of

permit conditions for a shared scooter system pilot program.

Over the past year, staff has met with internal departments and

gathered information from other jurisdictions with scooter programs in

order to develop a permit process for a pilot program.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and

Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution: 1) approve the

City of Santa Rosa’s Shared Scooter System Pilot Program; and 2)

authorize the Assistant City Manager and/or Director of Transportation

and Public Works or designee to modify permit conditions, issue and/or

revoke permits, and/or limit and/or suspend the operation of a shared

scooter system.
